Tigers Gold def Southerners Black - 30 to 21

Great win last night by Tigers Gold!

Excellent defending with Anna, Anita and Claire getting in some excellent touches and intercepts, not only preventing a few goals being shot but the ball even entering the goal gircle.
Well done and thanks Stacey playing an excellent defence game the first quarter.

Carlene and Jackie were right on the money to ensure our score line of 21-30 against the Southerners. Sammy had a great game as WA putting in some fast balls to the goal circle for the shooters. Isla was outstanding in both defence and attack as centre defending well, attacking all over the court and feeding the ball well to the goal circle - deservedly getting herself best and fairest.

Well done grrlllss! Have a good rest to fire up for the next game in two weeks time!

Tigers Gold def Harrow 21 - 17

September 15

A brand new season and a great new look to the Golds - in terms of uniforms and new players! The first quarter got off to a nervous start with the girls getting to know each other's movements and tactics - and seemingly getting to know the basics of throwing and catching again! We unfortunately fell behind by 3 goals despite the brilliant defensive play of Sammy and Anita.

However one quarter was all we needed to shake off the cobwebs! A few inspirational tactical changes made by the new co-captain Carlene going into the second quarter - the new shooting combo of Jackie and Joey together with the attacking force of Carlene and Isla seemed to pay off as we began converting our chances and building up a lead as approached the half time mark.

The third and fourth quarter saw more superb defensive play by the Golds as Harrow worked hard to edge their way back into the game. Sammy and Anita continued to make a huge number of vital interceptions in and around the circle, supported by Anna who produced some spectacular flying leaps down the wing. At the final whistle the girls can be proud of a great first performance and a new team that has a lot of potential! A fantastic start to the 2008 - 09 season.

Best and Fairest: Jumping Joey

Tigers Flag Tilt Ends in Heartache: Gold Undone By Well Drilled Opposition

Tigers Gold 18 vs Transpo 28
The first round of the finals drew Golds against Transpo so having won one and lost one in the league games this season we felt confident of a good tough game. Fast-paced from the very start, the action from both sides especially in the goal circles proved thrilling entertainment for the spectators. Joey and V-Ron led a tight attack and Penny and a newly-returned Liv bagged some great shots for the Tigers. Unfortunately, despite some solid defence from Roisin and Nikki, Transpo got off to a flying start that proved insurmountable in the end (28-18). Congratulations go out to the victors who notched up second place overall.

Tigers Gold 12 vs NIST 6
Given an originally unplanned final shot at a placing in the comp, Tigers Gold regrouped against NIST – determined to consolidate a win for the night. A couple of changes were made to freshen up the team, and the Tigers generated an awesome attack which was backed up by some great defensive play from Anna B and Carlene. NIST put up a tough fight for the ball (literally and figuratively) and more than one Tiger came away with a war wound – thankfully V-Ron’s fall wasn’t too serious. Without conceding the lead gained early on, the Golds sealed the victory 12-6 and third place in the comp. Many thanks go out to all the spectators who came to cheer us on, to Carlene for stepping up from the Blacks and to the other teams in the comp for a great season. Congratulations to Southerners for picking up the number one spot.
